Brave, the ad-blocking browser from former Mozilla CEO, grabs $4.5 million:

Brave Software, the new web browser company co-founded by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, has raised $4.5 million in seed funding for the continued development of its open source browser that blocks online ads and other trackers. Unlike traditional web browsers where ad-blocking takes place via a third-party add-on or extension, Brave’s browser has this technology built in, claiming not only to offer users more privacy, but also increased speed and performance – especially when surfing the mobile web.

According to metrics shared by Brave, the desktop version of the browser offers a 40 to 60 percent speed increase, and a 2x to 4x speed increase on mobile devices. Because of its ad-blocking and script-blocking features, mobile users will also see less battery consumption and data usage.

The browser offers a variety of security and safety features, as well, including support for encrypted data traffic via HTTPS Everywhere, fingerprinting shields, phishing protection, malware filtering and the above-mentioned script blocking.
The Brave browser is planning its 1.0 release for September

Nothing will ever beat my Opera Beta 40

 

[DardiM]

Are you Interested in using "Brave"? Yes
I currently use Vivaldi (I like the UI / speed ) and FireFox (development tools)

My dream in next gen browser is modern and clean UI browser which has built in (not from extension) VPN and Ad blocking capability.

So Opera is what u are searching. adblock build in and a vpn is alrdy on the dev opera version.

yes, I'm also amazed with their video pops out feature. However, VPN and adblock seem still need further development because when I try it, I noticed slow down in opening websites. However, I hope they improve in future.

i'm using Google chrome since i know about it and highly highly recommend to everyone.
Before chrome i was using firefox and now only on need.

 

[David98]

I've always stuck with Chrome, I guess I'm bias when it comes to which browser people should use.

 

[Cats-4_Owners-2]

Practical advice on browsers was the very subject which originally brought me to Malware Tips! I agree with David98's observations which reflect upon our own personal biases.
Our choosing a browser is very much like selecting the car we'll own & drive, and if that "vehicle's" performance, practicality, safety, and stability, weren't already a tall order, most still require their chosen browser to be (at the very least) customizable. Essentially, what I seek is a browser that does everything; and does it well. In short, I want the development muscle and resources of Google, but I still seek the smaller less intrusive quality that allows my sense of individuality and control. This is why I use Slimjet, installed on linux lubuntu & on a separate virtual machine. With a sense of retaining quality while reducing the bloat, my alternatives to Firefox have been been respectively Cyberfox and Palemoon. Palemoon which I currently use is the greater challenge in finding alternative forked addons or workarounds for the useful extensions I've learned are incompatible, but it's worth the search upon this journey which like development never ends.

..& Yes, I shall look forward to trying, and experiencing, Brave browser.

BTW, Umbra's & Lucent Warrior's revelations of Edge's advantages through the use of App Container pulls me in another exciting direction too!

 

[Bill7]

I use firefox and chrome mostly but i experiment with opera,waterfox and pale moon through times

 

[coolcanadiancat]

My main browser is Opera (39.0)
2nd most used: Vivaldi
I also use from time to time Slimjet and Epic

BTW... Yes, I've also tried Brave (looks promising)

and over the years I've tried Firefox, Chrome, Superbird, Palemoon x64, Cyberfox, Netscape and Safari (for windows) and perhaps a few more of which I'm having trouble remembering. Though perhaps that is what happens when you've been on the web since dial-up days

 

[yigido]

I use Coc Coc browser, webkit base with built-in download accelerator and a few extra features

Vietnamese style browsing.. sounds interesting. I love home-made national things.
It is Chromium based. Which core it is using right now?

 

[CMLew]

I use Chrome Canary, Opera Developers and Edge.

 

[Soulbound]

Google Chrome on Windows, Chromium on Linux boxes.

Does the job, has my themes, extensions and bookmarks synced, less of a hassle in the end.

it uses webkit/chromium. same as google chrome. maybe it is a bit slower, but it has download accelerator, torrent downloader, and some vietnamese stuffs you dont need. besides these it is the same as chrome

edit/note:
download accelerator is good for files that less than 1Gb
if files are larger, it might freeze your pc a bit the accelerator still works but not as efficient. Then I suggest for very large files, we should use portable eagleget or something else portable

if you use, disable Coc Coc metasearcher because if you search directly from the omnibox, it will redirect to Coc Coc search instead of google search

Great for you guys, Thanks for the infos

 

[Amine Achille]

Chrome in the main browser and Edge as a second one.

 

[nclr11111]

Always FF with addons. Old habits are hard to break!!

 

[Wihat]

I'm using Chrome, sometimes Firefox, I didn't use Opera anymore( for myself).

 

[Amiga500]

After much deliberation i have switched to google chrome as my main browser here on my linux computer and it runs superbly.

Opera's VPN is not a true VPN but a proxy
